At the University of Minnesota Ballroom Dance Club, our mission is to create a fun atmosphere for the University and surrounding community. Our focus is on spreading the joy and knowledge of ballroom dance, as well as establishing an inclusive environment where dancers return year after year.

Lessons

Your first two lessons are always free! The club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginner lessons start at 8pm and there’s general dance at 8:45pm. To view the full lesson schedule on a calendar, check out the club calendar.

Club

The club is open to anyone, not just students! No special clothing, previous experience, or partner is necessary. If you would like to know more about the club, go to our club homepage.

Team

The University of Minnesota Ballroom Competition Team was founded in 2010. Since then we have been steadily growing and improving (currently ranked 3rd in the nation!), and always looking to have fun while doing so. Auditions are held in the fall and spring of each school year, and are open to collegiate dancers of all backgrounds and skill levels. Each semester the team competes in one home competition – Blast in the Fall, Dance Fest in the Spring – and one away competition.
